The big takeaway is that despite these UMAP is still useful.

I've used UMAP in the past. It's not quite as bad as you're suggesting. Points 2,3 and 4, are going to be things that you're going to want to verify quantitatively anyways. Despite this, it's still a fine way to throw points up and start exploring - just don't use it as the end all, be all.

I had two Nokia 1020s. Yes Windows 8 was a nightmare. The 38Mpix camera sensor at 1/1.5 inches, Zeiss lens, OIS coupled with Pureview software rendered stunning images. Especially low light. 9 years on I've never quite got the same joy out of Pixel Pro or IOS images.
Yeh but a pragmatic decision like a $40pcm box won't go down well with your now very bored team of SREs, DevOps and distributed systems engineers(tm) who demand more playtime with the magic cloud toybox (for a 100DAU internal app).
Yes. I just provided simplified firewall rules in my answer. You also need to whitelist either the VPN endpoint itself (and add a route to that endpoint) or you need to whitelist the process (such as wireguard or openvpn) that hits that endpoint.

Not sure how a DHCP server is relevant in the slightest here except for the initial host network config of course. But the host network should already be configured before the VPN comes up.

There is also the concept of the hypothicated tax. The only exemplar I know is the Australian Medicare levy, the money is solely to be used, and spent on Medicare, and no other purpose enshrined in law. People often claim petrol tax was designed to pay for roads infrastructure but it wasn't legally bound, and is not a hypothicated tax. Nor is the ULEZ and like costs to drive in the inner city with a petrol engine. They are designed to discourage use of ICE not to pay for them.
This is a good point. Rather than responding to what somebody posts it is best to refute something else that they could have posted, but did not post
Yes and I was chiming in about how its chemistry is really quite unique which leads to its role in money.

Cu and Ag are far more prone to oxidation.

Its thanks to the relativistic effects that gold is so much more oxidation resistant. But the other adjacent metals are too hard and or too rare. Eg. Pt Ir Pd Rh etc

That coincidence of lustre (which is both pleasing but also a rough way for us to ascertain purity/quality before we had better tools), malleability, oxidation resistance and ease of purification (gold has a relatively low melting temp) all made it a fantastic candidate for storing wealth.

As someone who studied the periodic table I find it very fun to then appreciate how the properties of elements played their role in civilisation

I tried the first entry 'Biggest error, category Anything' and was disappointed when the error message was really short. But I had made the 'mistake' of using clang++, with g++ I get the crazy long error as promised.

No, the electric toothbrushes are called Braun in markets outside the US. I've only seen them labeled Oral-B in the US.

Also, they're pretty lousy toothbrushes IMO. I recommend Panasonic ones instead.
I think the key part of the UX there is the instant pop-up visibility of the linked comment when you hover over it. Navigating between comments seems like the biggest barrier for most users, where even the extra couple seconds to find out what the person is replying to may be enough to deter someone's interest. And if you accidentally click the wrong place or hit back too many times, it's easy to lose your place.

My toaster, kettle, coffee maker, emersion blender, hand mixer, shaver and toothbrush are all labelled Braun (the toothbrush also says Oral-B, but that co-labelling started in 1984[0]). That said, Proctor & Gamble makes finding Braun appliances in North America rather tricky (special order only, never on a store shelf).

The very first entry in the competition is a good example already. You can try it in both g++ and clang++.

Interesting, for the 'Biggest error, category Bare Hands' entry, clang++ gives me a much longer error message than g++:

$ g++ var.c++ |& wc -c
8 810948 5670500
$ clang++ var.c++ |& wc -c
20 5232857 36625300

Clang++ has about 6.5 times as many characters in the error message as g++ here.

Though looking at the actual error messages, that seems to be down to a deeper default maximum instantiation depth on clang++ (1024 there vs 900 in g++).
This is a slight variation on the "Poison Tap" attack from Samy Kamkar in 2016, where you do the same thing but with a USB/Thunderbolt network adapter. You plug it into the victim device, advertise two more specific routes of 0.0.0.0/1 and 128.0.0.0/1 and then you get all the traffic in preference to other system interfaces despite interface ordering:
https://github.com/samyk/poisontap

I imagine there is also probably some other prior art. But that's a very well known one.

They also claim that it affects all VPN clients in the headline, yet so many such clients setup firewall rules to block traffic to/from the physical interface as they acknowledge in the write-up. Most of the VPNs that are claiming to hide your identity or where such cloaking is important tend to implement that. I'm sure plenty of setups don't have it enabled by default, but I think it would have been productive to document what percentage of leading personal/commercial and corporate VPN solutions have this enabled by default.

A good write-up and explanation for the lay person, but I think the headline over-sells it a little bit given the number of clients that would prevent most of the data leak with those firewall rules and not acknowledging the prior art in this area.
Unfortunately, no, OBS handles video only, no audio comes through the camera. It's really frustrating, I have wanted to do some more complicated audio setups on a Windows PC (specifically bridging two calls on different platforms together, I know the latency would be bad), but you have to use the VB CABLE proprietary driver, of which you can only have one for free, or try playing with Voicemeeter (same company with old, proprietary software). I have tried Synchronous Audio Router, but I couldn't get it to work after hours of pressing buttons.

On Mac, I can just buy Rogue Amoeba software, and on Linux, I can just run some commands or download a GUI to route audio around however I want.

That's furniture and not a house though. I'd guess that the average estate being that low value is not including outright-owned property/land. It's old people with a 20 year old car they've nursed through retirement, antiques that aren't in fashion, and bric a brac.

At least where I live, there would be a gulf between the estates of people who bought into the property market and those that rented their entire lives. Latter will have some furniture no one wants and scraps. The owners will have a $2m property and then investment property that get split up between their kids.
Thank you so much for this feedback! Indeed, this is definitely confusing in the notebook. I pushed a small commit to make it a little bit more clear that the non-determinism comes from the probabilistic nature of the environment dynamics (and not b/c the agent chooses a different action by mistake).

As a side note, initially I meant to go through it in a video to fill the gaps in the text with my voice. But given that I didn't have time for those, I am fixing those gaps first :) Thanks again!

Pretty much. While it is mandated here, there is nothing stopping others form doing the same.

On my end it is just a manner of optics. The money being put aside, I never see week to week thus it just seems like an added bonus even though it is really just a part of the pay cycle.

> The bright red isn't just brighter, it's "redder than red"

You probably already know this, but there is such a thing as "the reddest red." A single wavelength of light is fully chromatic. As you mention, most color spaces use a "less red red," because it's easier to produce.

Some color spaces do use impossible primaries in order to capture more area but, as the name suggests, they are unphysical.

Supersaturated colors do somewhat exist, but these rely on human visual oddities.

Those expenses are not "debt" in the traditional sense. I've got two paid-off houses, and my annual combined expenses for them come to something around $20k/year.
To be clear, I'm not against people medicating for severe cases. Calorie counting does work for billions of people alive today though. It works so well most people never even have to do any real measurements. You're either starting from a false premise by declaring that it "doesn't work" or using a very lax definition of what it means to try. I'm assuming the latter is what you mean, because that makes the most sense. The point I'm trying to make is you would be hard pressed to find someone who actually followed through with measuring their food intake honestly, cut 500+ calories out of it, and still managed to not lose weight over an extended period of time.

One of the reasons I referenced other countries was because it provides very strong evidence that culture is a factor. In America, we presently have a culture of telling ourselves that it's really hard to keep excessive amounts of weight off. We betray ourselves every time we tell that lie.
To offer a counter opinion, the post did say "Non-Fictional".
I jest.
Those are demonstrations to return the hostages, not to stop killing Palestinians.

From the article:

> The scammers were so convincing that in most cases, they managed to get continuous payments from their victims, according to the police.

They managed to secure continuous income streams of free money by talking to people on their phones. It’s extra money and surely they planned on doing more scams. That’s the motivation.

> Spain's GDP per capita is $30,000, and I'd assume they'd been doing it for at least 6 months, so they're not even making an average wage.

I guarantee they weren’t working on this 8 hours per day, 5 days per week. That’s not how scams like this work. They’re talking to people through WhatsApp. It’s about as demanding as texting their friends, albeit with additional overhead of maintaining the ruse and keeping facts straight. They could have carried on these conversations while working their day jobs.

Some people just get a thrill from committing crimes and extracting money or goods through crime. It doesn’t have to be life changing money, these people just like doing crimes and getting a few thousand extra dollars to do whatever they want with.

Of course, the actual cost is devastating once they’re caught. But they’re not thinking about that.

Safety is one of Python's greatest advantages over C or C++. Why would anyone use unsafe Python when P0ython doesn't have other features such as type safety and all the debugging tools that have been built for C and C++ over time is beyond me.

Python is a great language, but just as the generation of kids who got out of computer science programs in the 2000s were clueless about anything that wasn't Java, it seems this generation is clueless about anything that isn't Python.

There was life before Python and there will be life after Python!

I’ve mostly been getting my news about these protests from English language news (particularly Democracy Now!) so I may be wrong about this, but I don’t recall at any point they even mention Palestinians in these protests. They seem to be against the war, and against the current government, solely because they want the hostages home.

Now, I want to be clear, I’m not blaming the protestors (I know many here on HN are going to these protests, and all the power to you for that). And I’m certainly not going to accuse any individual protestor of not caring about Palestinians. But from my eyes, through the English language news, it certainly does not seem to be a priority, nor even a consideration, for the public at large in Israel, that Palestinians get justice and liberation from these years and years of political neglect and human rights violations.

If you compare this to the Iraq war protests in the USA, which I will not deny were more about bringing the troops home then about the lives of Iraqis, but the lives and conditions of Iraqis was always at least a part of the conversations. I’m not seeing this int the “Bring Them Home Now” protests in Israel. The hostages are not the main focus, but the only focus. Consideration for Palestinian lives is completely absent.

When I see protests which actually consider Palestinian lives, it is not these mass demonstrations like we see with the “Bring Them Home Now” protests, but rather, very few individual anti-Zionist activists, who seem to get pretty disproportionate treatment from the Israeli police.

IMO better representations for code is one of the big things we need to build more complex software.

Unfortunately as the demo shows, a tree-map is hard because the code is just too big. Like, you can only see one or two full snippets in the window at once, the others are mostly off-screen. I think this is one area that would genuinely benefit from virtual reality, due to the massive "screen space" and ability to map code directly to physical locations (which is a known technique for memorization and allows for even more space).

I recently read a sci-fi novel by Andrew Knight that incorporated like 5 or 6 poems. Title = The Redemption Procedure. Here was my favorite:

On occasion in the morning light, when I am still in bed,

a joy seizes my soul, bestows abilities I wish I always had.

So splendid and resplendent is this delight

that brings about a totalizing transformation!

My heart turns clear and innocent;

my mind focuses to a point;

even my hand’s writing improves.

The earth opens itself to confess in a whisper

its place for me.

Worries flee, problems dissolve,

and those that do not

still seem soluble easily, with little effort.

I drink tea with golden honey, read,

dance and laugh and sing inwardly.

I might run the faucet to warm to shower,

and send messages of delight to whatever god

stayed my self-negating hand the night before.

I step off the tile onto the white bath, and

the story goes as it goes as it goes.

The water envelops me. The morning slows.

A shadowed normalcy returns to spirit.

i exit the shower, dripping, heavy headed,

dullest eyes a blur, soporific mind.

It is only still mid-morning as I

dry myself quarter hearted,

slumped and sinking,

to drag these pale bones

through chills,

to my sheetless bed

to sleep.

and when I awaken

in the afternoon

it is dark

On-the-job observations are very subvertable though. They happened a few times in my high school in Soviet Union. At least twice the teacher would prep "good" students a few days in advance: I will ask you this question, and this is the answer you are supposed to give, make sure to memorize it well. So the class is engaged, gives good answers to hard questions, except this is all a Potemkin village deal!

I was part of Unicode effort it’s inception at Xerox and then Apple. It has drifted so far from the initial core principles (that happened a very long time ago) that I find Unicode as a whole a technical embarrassment. Seeing yet another duplicate range of latin characters that are just a font variation sickens me to my core even forgetting all the other issues with this range. This is exactly the kind of standard that exemplifies the problems in designing by committee. There are no true guiding principles.

I wash wool and silk using a ph balanced detergent with no protease. I use cold water, minimum spin, and a super long soak. Then I hang dry. It's more work to wash this way, but they last longer, never smell, and 100% silk and wool only need washing 1/3rd to 1/5th as often anyway, so the total work is lower than with plastic clothing. The brand of detergent I use is literally called "Soak," and I get it on Amazon.

Code is the smallest portion of the job for sure, but as you say it's seldom also the easy part (unless greenfielding a domain you know decently).

I wonder what % of developers simply espouse that mantra to downplay their technical shortcomings to the team.
